Great Expectations on the Trail at Russian Gulch State Park in Mendocino

Every hike begins with great expectations. And while the redwoods at Russian Gulch State Park proved less grand and the fern canyon less lush than expected, we still found plenty to enjoy. Continue reading “Great Expectations on the Trail at Russian Gulch State Park in Mendocino” →

Today we start our 2 day drive/flight home from #Patagonia. It has been a slice of heaven. This 90 mile #hiking experience was absolutely amazing. Thanks @wildernesstravel for arranging the logistics and the excellent guides.

Hiked today to the three towers in #TorresDelPaine national park in #Patagonia, #Chile. It seems easy enough at a net 2800 ft elevation gain over 6 miles (one way). Except that you start at the Rio Ascencio river and go half way up and have to hike all the way back down to the river and back up 2800 ft. Then you have to go up and down again on the way back 😫. My Fitbit logged 4100 ft total elevation over 14 miles. The view and experience are absolutely worth the joint pain, but be aware you have a tough day before you start. Our exceptional guides at @WildernessTravel knew just when to start to avoid the crowds as the right pace for success.

Calm afternoon at Jardín Botánico. We slacked on our first day in Buenos Aires —mostly because we didn’t sleep much on the flight. #buenosaires #botanicalgardens #southamerica #slacking

Fabulous #sunrise. Living on the west coast with mountains to the east, we see gorgeous sunsets, but not so many stunning sunrises. This one was a special treat as we get an early start for our drive to LA.

Angel Island -- that place you go when you can't get tickets to the *other*, more famous abandoned island in #SanFranciscoBay. Seriously, this is a really fun day trip, with a couple of different ferry options. We launched from #Tiburon, which gave us coffee/pancake options in the morning and happy hour options on our return. This photo is from one of the abandoned military bases on the island. We blogged about it, so you can check out CoastsideSlacking.com if you are curious.

Good times in #Yosemite back in April. We have enjoyed this #California treasure for years. So sad to see the devastation from #wildfires this year.
